For More Configurations
Now you can manage your wireless network and view network statistic using the EAP Controller. Please refer
to the EAP Controller User Guide to learn more information on configuring and using the Controller software.
Find the EAP Controller application file (for Windows user only) from our website at www.tp-link.com. Run the
file and follow the wizard to install the EAP Controller on the computer.
Step 1: Installing the EAP Controller
Launch the
EAP Controller
and follow the configuration wizard to create a primary wireless network. After the
wizard is finished, a login screen will appear. Enter the admin name and password you created and click
Sign In.
Step 2: Configuring the EAP Controller
Adopt the EAP devices in the Controller management interface to change the status from pending to connected.
Step 3: Adopting the EAP devices
Note: The IP address of the management computer must be reachable for the EAPs in the network.
NOTE:
With the device powered on, press and hold the RESET button for about 8 seconds until the LED flashes red,
then release the button. The device will restore to factory default settings.
ETHERNET of EAP320 and ETH1 (PoE) of EAP330 is to connect to a router or a switch to transmit data or to
a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment), such as a PoE switch, for both data transmission and Power over
Ethernet (PoE) through Ethernet cabling. ETH1 and ETH2 can be combined together to double the network
backhaul capacity.
CONSOLE is used to connect to the serial port of a computer or a terminal to check and monitor system
information of the EAP device. CLI commands are not available in current software version. We will release a new
version supporting CLI commands soon. Please pay close attention to our official website.
